EAGLE FAN MILL. 
T he best and cheapest grain 
AND SEED SEPARATOR EVER OFFERED 
IN THIS MARKET. 
The superiority of this Fan consists 
First—In cleaning without a screen, by separating the impu¬ 
rities, such as chess, cockle, smut, &c.. by the blast alone, con¬ 
sequently saving the loss of the small sound kernels of wheat 
which must go through a screen. 
Second—An arrangement by which a part of the sound and 
perfect grains are separated from the rest for seeding, leaving 
the balance in a good marketable condition, so that the 
farmer need sow only such grain as contains the germ of 
growth. 
Third—Smaller seed, such as grass and clover seed, are 
cleaned in the most perfect manner. 
Fourth—Fans built on this plan will clean grain, both in the 
first and second cleaning, faster and better than any others now 
in use. 
Fifth—The cheapness and durability of its construction.

I SABELLA AND CATAWBA GRAPE

proved cultivation lor over fourteen years has conferred on the 
Croton Point Vineyards, are offered to the public. Those who

vided their locality is not too far north. All communications

ton Point, Westchester Countv, N. Y., will receive attention. 
The additional experience of two past seasons, give him full as¬ 
surance that by improved cultivation, pruning, &c., a crop of 
good fruit canoe obtained every year, in most of the Northern, 
all the Middle, Western and Southern States. 
N. B.—To those who take sufficient to plant six acres, as he 
directs, he will, when they commence bearing, furnish ihe own¬ 
er with one of his Vinedressers, whom he has instructed in his 
mode of cultivation, and he will do all the labor of the vineyard, 
a id insure the most perfect success. The only charge, a reason¬ 
able compensation for the labor. R. T. U.

TKIN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER and 
MOWER.—Three seasons’ use of this ingenious, beauti¬ 
ful, and yet simple Machine, furnish convincing proof of piact.i- 
cal worth. THREE HUNDRED, scattered into 19 different 
States the past season, mostly in inexperienced hands, and 
nearly all giving good satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 acres, 
proves it not only strong and serviceable, but. also simple and 
easily managed. It saves not only the hard work of raking, but 
lays the grain in su ch good order as to save at least another 
hand in binding. 
IT IS WARRANTED TO BE A GOOD, DURABLE, 
SELF-RAKING REAPER, and I have also succeeded in at¬ 
taching a mowing bar, so that I also WARRANT IT AS A 
MOWER.
